I'd be sitting in my office thanking the Lord you are out there and I am in a AC cooled office not having to deal with customers. I mean could you imagine dealing with a DJ Chaps complaining about the fact some razors were mispriced? I'd hang myself in the employee break room.
Not dumb, just got distracted by her boyfriend talking to me while she palmed the $800. Next time someone does that distraction trick, I'll be 100 percent on red flag alert. Possibly say something like,"I'm going to recount this before I put it in the register. And then recount it. If Customer is running a scam, they'd say something like,"I don't want to do the Western Union Transaction anymore, give me back all the money, I'm cancelling." A Customer who is not running a scam would say something like,"That's totally fine. I'd recount the money myself."
